If you're a Visual Basic programmer, you can now write code for microcontrollers--pretty awesome

The Visual Basic support is all there--but there may be a few rough edges. If you'd like to start working with it, we'd love to hear your feedback so we can help make .NET MF 4.2 a high quality release for VB programmers.

Very happy VB support has materialized, but are there plans to allow it to work with the Express versions as well? I do see this as an unnecessary barrier to widespread adoption of VB.NET as a Netduino development platform.

I'm told that Visual Basic Express support should be live in the Release Candidate or RTM version. Sometime in the next month or two.

This is tremendous. I'm a capable C# dev, but, because I live in it all day, I have a tendency to think VB. Will make the rapid development of code a little more rapid for me. Thanks to everyone that contributed to this for their hard work!

Its great to see that people are excited about VB Support. I work in both and love VB. The VB stuff is still in Beta so please do provide feedback on things that are not working 100% so we can work to get them resolved.

Just joined in... I'm thinking on moving some of my projects from Proton PIC Basic to Netduino Mini.
Is there already support for VB in the 4.2BETA3 for the Mini? If not, when can we expect it?
Thanx for the great platform!

I just got the Netduino Plus 2 for Christmas. It's been two years since I've tinkered with electronics on a BASIC stamp microcontroller. I was kind of hoping this would force me to get more proficient in C#, just finished the three simple tutorials and now I see this! Like the others, I work in VB.NET all day so I am very tempted to update, but I wouldn't mind hearing something that could motivate me to stick with the C# (other than the value of learning C#). Aside from this being beta support (assuming it still is), is there any performance disadvantage if I proceed with the firmware update, anything at all that might encourage me not to?
